Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was born in 1797 in London,
England. She was the daughter of two eighteenth-century
intellectual giants: political philosopher William Godwin and famed
feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft. Her magnum opus, Frankenstein,
was conceived on a rainy night at Lake Geneva after a waking dream
that she had a few nights after Lord Byron had proposed that they
each write a ghost story. Suffering from a possible brain tumor,
Shelley passed away in 1851.
